All in for supporting local commerce!! Especially for an INGO member.

I have no idea what store you're talking about, but even if they only sell pink and purple pompoms, I could come up with a gag gift for one of my 5 BILs.

Maybe someone can enlighten me. I'm still kind of new, ya know.

You're even later to the party than myself...


The only other local store run by an INGO'er is Red Barn Bait shop just off 135 North of Salem. He's just a lurker, but good friends with Mongo, who does participate.

It was a little gun shop/museum in Clarksville. It was usually best to plan on spending a couple hours when visiting. Not that the store was that big, but the storytelling/history lessons were excellent.

And K-Mart just closed their last store yesterday. The blue light has gone dark.

Fun fact… Blue Light special was created by a store manager in Ft Wayne

I did not know that!

I did not know that!

Yep! Store manager did it to help move old inventory and it did so well that Corporate found out and made it a chain wide thing.

I'm pretty sure only people from Ft Wayne actually know that

I googled it but all I could find was that it was first started in the 1960's.

Uber sent me a $15 coupon.

Too late since I waited 4 hours for one to show up until I had to start thumbing.

Morning all. Bit of a rough morning here. Barb complained of nausea. Took her anti nausea med, ate two bites of egg and promptly threw up. She's under two blankets trying to stay warm in a 75° house. Not running a fever, just side effects.

Rough, indeed.
Can't add more than has been said already, but know we're pulling for y'all.
Godspeed to you both.

Back from the pond. We did 2 laps, so 3 miles.

Got into a misty drizzle the last half lab, so I am moist all over, not rally wet. Not sure if I should shower and put on clean clothes…

Im wondering if there's a possibility of grass mowing today...

Maybe, almost a slight possibility, partially.
If the leaves weren't so soppy, I could probably mow. Not my leaves. My trees out front are gone.

Neighbor's hired guns mow noon on Wednesdays. I'll take peak and see what they stir up.
Mine needs a mow! It's been over two weeks since my mower started its tantrum.

 

[Expat]

Too wet for me up here to think of mowing.

Amateur's segue, but ...
I buzzed past this interesting tidbit a few days ago.
It's just internet gaga to most, but to an implanted Hoosier, here, I found it particularly readable.

Good really, really, really wet morning folks. Actually was raining again for a while off and on around day break. So the dust is truly settled now. Still lake effect showers in area. 30% chance thru 3 or 4 this afternoon.

Mowing needs done badly but zero idea when it might be possible. Hopefully before possible hurricane remnants move in Saturday.
